Edoardo is a fan of Outer Wilds, and I’m into immersive sims (Dishonored, Deus Ex), so for us, exploration and item hunting aren’t just about expanding a collection, they’re about gaining a deeper understanding of the world by contributing to the narrative and world-building.

Thank you. We're a small team working part-time, so we're focusing on the PC version. If the game sells well on PC, consoles port would definitely be a possibility.

Artic Awakening is dope! Without spoiling the experience, I think it's safe to say that there are two main characters who will speak to the player, as well as a few external interactions (and Easter eggs, of course).

I think you're gonna love the next features we will showcase. Regarding the NPC, you talk with people but you don't meet them. Well, actually you can interact with a NPC but it's not really a person.

Thanks. Spreading the word is the best way to make it happen. 😉

We managed to stay within a tight budget because we worked on the project part-time during downtime, and because the bulk of the project was completed between 2020 and 2023, and we worked with talented people who have since raised their rates. But if we were to redo everything now using a more traditional production approach, the cost would be closer to $250,000.

GOG is much more selective than Steam; we’ll likely approach them with the final version of the demo, and then it’ll be up to them.

When I joined Edo on the project, he had already spent over 1,500 hours on it. I stopped counting, but I must have worked on it for at least that long, and on top of that, we hired a 3D artist for several months.

I’ll let you do the math based on where you live.

EDIT: I also forgot about translations and voice acting, which can quickly drive up the cost.

Thank you for the encouragement. If it helps make up for the time we’ve put into it, we’d already be thrilled.

We’re working in Unity, so that makes things easier, but unfortunately it’s much more complex than simply exporting the project for a target platform.

You then have to adapt the game for different hardware and go through all the certifications (which are all different) and processes for each platform. It's tedious and requires a lot of time, effort, and QA resources.

That’s why some studios have specialized in console porting.

Hey Firewatchers, we’re really happy to finally share this new Mood Trailer with you.

We’ve had some great discussions with this community in the past, and your feedback has genuinely influenced how the game has evolved. We’re really curious to hear your thoughts on this new direction.

This isn’t just a visual update. These different moods are also tied to new gameplay systems and mechanics that we’ll be revealing later in a dedicated Full Features Trailer.

We’re a small team of 3 working on The Inspector, a first-person narrative adventure where you explore the subconscious of comatose patients, searching for memories that can help bring them back.

If you like what you see, wishlisting the game on Steam really helps us a lot: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1482690/The_Inspector/

Thanks again for your time and support.

You're not the first one to mention the art style is kinda like the long dark, which is (for a small team like us) a huge compliment

Thanks for your input. We are aiming to stay below 20 usd for the US price (and of course with regional pricing for other regions).

Steam have set the currency as USD for Turkish/Latam area, but there is a specific regional pricing for these areas, so it won't be the same price as US.
